FILM: The 35th Annual Frameline Film Festival kicks off tonight with a screening of Gun Hill Road, "a tense and complex family drama about a teen embracing her gender identity and a father who must put aside his notions of manhood and reinvestigate his own ideas of what having a 'normal' child means." The screening is followed by the Opening Night Gala at Temple Nightclub at 10 p.m. (7 p.m., Castro Theatre, 429 Castro Street)

ART: Photographer Dennis Letbetter and artist Solomon Rino present Toward a Human Face, a collaboration consisting of an exhibition and a book in two editions that was conceived as an homage to John Deakin and Francis Bacon. "Letbetter made photographic portraits of Rino who then collaged his drawn pieces onto the portraits, and the work became a meditation on the potential of the human form." (6 to 8 p.m., The Bonnafont Gallery, 946a Greenwich Street)

THEATER: The Southern Railroad Theatre Company presents four new short plays by playwright Susan Jackson, 4GIVENESS: In a Family Way, a "good ol' Southern soap opera, where everyone is related by blood or marriage, where dogs rule, the Sonic Drive-In is the place to be -- and where forgiveness can be found." (8 p.m., Royce Gallery, 2901 Mariposa Street)
